Prayer Is Recognizing Our Dependence On God J. I. Packer wrote in his book, Evangelism
and the Sovereignty of God: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| “The prayer of a Christian is not an attempt to force God’s hand, but a humble acknowledgment of helplessness and dependence. When we are on our knees, we know that it is not we who control the world; it is not in our power, therefore, to supply our needs by our own independent efforts; every good thing that we desire for ourselves and others must be sought from God, and will come, if it comes at all, as a gift from His hands.” | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
By praying, we recognize three things: 1. Our helplessness and dependence on Him. 2. That we are not in control of our lives. 3. We must seek God for every good thing we desire for ourselves and others. Sadly, if we cannot see how God can answer, we tend to doubt that He will answer. All to often our level of trust in God depends on our ability to anticipate or foresee the way in which He might answer our prayers, rather than in our belief and trust in His Power. We pray, but if we were really honest with ourselves and with God, if we had the courage to express our thoughts out loud, they might come out something like this: "You know, Lord, this is just a long shot. I don’t see how You can possibly do this or pull this off, but I’m going to pray for it and just see if something happens.” Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." Proverbs 4:7 (KJV) “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
One way we fear God is by depending on Him even when we cannot see how He might bring something to pass. Isaiah 55:8 & 9 (KJV) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Our prayers should be both an acknowledgment of our own helplessness with out Him and our dependence upon Him. Our prayers should be an expression of our confidence that God can meet our needs in ways we could never anticipate or foresee. Everyday We Make A Choice To keep our own will - or - to do His will. When we come into His presence, we give up the right to be right. Proverbs 15:8 (KJV) “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.”
Proverbs 15:29 (KJV) “The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV) “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
Sometimes When I Pray It Feels Like God Isn’t Listening. Why Is That? James 4:6 (KJV) “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” Some definitions for Pride are: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Arrogance |
Overconfidence |
Self-importance |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Conceit |
Self-assurance |
Haughtiness |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Putting on of airs |
Self-satisfaction |
Self-righteousness |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Take a minute and think about the meanings of these words. The root of all these words is SELF-SUFFICIENCY. Pride tries to control and manipulate us by: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Brute Force |
Cunning |
Deviousness |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Lying |
Manipulation |
Hostility |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Resentment |
Bitterness |
Offence |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Goody-goody |
Untrustworthiness |
Unfriendliness |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Divide & conquer |
Lack of sympathy |
Affection |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Now think on these words and their definitions. Pride is very manipulative and controlling. It is really scary and difficult to allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Yet, this is exactly what God wants from us - our vulnerabilities. In our vulnerability we must humble ourselves. Some definitions for Humility are: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Modesty |
Silence |
Peace |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Stillness |
Discretion |
Carefulness |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Caution |
Unassuming |
Unpretentious |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Meekness |
Submissiveness |
Gentleness |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Mildness |
Timidity |
Quietness |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Shyness |
Carefulness |
Carefulness |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Watchfulness |
Caution |
Concern |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Prudence |
Good judgment |
Responsibility |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Humility is not only an attitude, but a life style, and should live in us in such a way as to say: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I am not my own power |
I do not know the best way |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I am not above time |
I do not know the right way |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I am not truth |
I am not perfect |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I am not law |
I am not messiah |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
His way is not my way |
Recognizing God |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
God's Strength |
God's ability |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
God's wisdom |
God's love |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
God's salvation in and for all things |
It is okay for me not to be perfect |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Humility cause total trust in Him. True humility causes us to give the right to right. Prayer Is Communion I talk He listens - and - He talks I listen. I encourage you to always go into prayer with pad and pencil. This is one way of showing Father we are really interested in what He has to say, and that we are dependent and reliant upon Him. Prayer Lord, I want to recognize You in every part of my life, in everything I do, I am helpless without You. I realize You are a Sovereign God and You and You alone are in total control of not only my life, but the whole universe. Please help me not to fear or doubt, but to trust You in every area of my life. I desire to trust Your wisdom and understanding. Expose the area's of my life where there is pride. I want to stay humble before You, submissive to You and Your plan for my life. I thank you Lord, for helping me to give up to need to be right, and to put all my trust in You. I wait on You now to speak into my heart and life. Thank you for talking with me and teaching me Your ways.
The Prayer God Will Hear Every Time Prayer
is more than the recitations of well-known phrases. Prayer is the outpouring
of our hearts. The turning to God as our source in our time of need, believing
that He alone is able to deliver us from all our problems and that He
alone is the answer to our every question. Prayer is powerful communication
with God. So
why are we troubled by questions like these: ·
“Why when I pray, don’t’ I fell better?” · “Why
does my time with the Lord just seem to wear me out?” ·
“How am I supposed to pray?” ·
“How come I seldom see answers
to my prayers?” ·
“Is there something wrong with
me?” ·
“Am I not good enough for God
to listen to?” James 4:3 (KJV)
“Ye
ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon
your lusts.” The New Living Bible says it this way;
“And
even when you do ask, you don’t get because your whole motive is wrong
you want only what will give you pleasure.”
So then, how can we know the prayers we pray will be effectual prayers? By praying His Word, God’s Word, as we search it out covers every area of our lives: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Vocation | Healing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Finances | Marriage | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Singleness | Salvation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Children | Relationships | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
“So
shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return
unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” The
promise of The LORD is His Word cannot return void. Therefore, it only
makes sense for us to pray the Word of God, for His Word is always His
will for our lives. Psalms 103:20 (KJV)
“Bless
the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word.” As
we pray His Word, we become that voice that the angels hearken or listen
to. Using
as examples the King James and Amplified versions of the Bible, let us
explore how to take God’s Word and turn it into an effective prayer life.
I
am trusting that The Word will come alive to you in a way you have never
seen it before, and that you will receive applicable application to your
lives as you learn how to search The Word out for your needs. Wisdom Proverbs 4:7 (KJV)
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with
all thy getting get understanding.”
“If any of you lack
wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth
not; and it shall be given him.” Prayer Lord,
I need Your wisdom, You said wisdom is the principal thing, the most
important thing I need in my life, and You know what I need more
than I know what I need. So Father, I am asking You for Your wisdom,
and with that wisdom give me understanding. I believe because I have
asked according to Your Word, You will liberally give Your wisdom
and understanding to me. Thank you Lord.
The Will Of God In Your Life Ephesians 5:17 (AMP)
“Therefore do not be vague
and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what
the will of the Lord is.” Prayer Lord,
it is not my desire to be vague, thoughtless and/or foolish, but
I desire to understand and grasp what Your will is for
my life. Please help me to understand I have the mind of Christ. I want
to hold Your thoughts and purposes deep within me. Thank you Lord. 1 Corinthians 2:16b (AMP)
“…We have the mind of
Christ, the Messiah, and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes)
of His heart.” Prayer Father,
I thank you that You have my best interest at heart, and that through
You I can have the mind of Christ. Proverbs
4:23 (KJV)
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Prayer Father,
I pray You would please help me to keep my heart with all diligence.
Thank
you Lord. Ephesians 1:16-19 (AMP)

“Acquaint
now yourself with Him [agree with God and show yourself to be conformed
to His will] and be at peace; by that [you shall prosper and great] good
shall come to you.
Receive,
I pray you, the law and instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words
in your heart.
If you return to
the Almighty [and submit and humble yourself before Him], you will be
built up; if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents,
If you lay gold
in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brook [considering
them of little worth],
And make the Almighty
your gold and the Lord your precious silver treasure, then you will have
delight in the Almighty, and you will lift up your face to God.
Then you will have delight
in the Almighty and you will lift up your face to God
You will make your prayer
to Him, and He will hear you and you will pay your vows.
You shall also decide
and decree a thing and it shall be established for you and the light [of
God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways.
When they make you low,
you will say, There is a lifting up; and the humble person He lifts up
and saves.
He
will even deliver the one [for whom you intercede] who is not innocent;
yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."
As I acquaint myself with You, and agree to be conformed to Your
will and live in Your peace. I will prosper and great good shall come
to me. I receive the law and instruction from Your
mouth, and lay up Your words in my heart. As I submit and humble myself before You,
I will be built up and put away unrighteousness far from me.
If I lay gold in the dust and the gold of
Ophir among the stones of the brook, and consider them of little worth,
and make You my gold and You my precious silver treasure, then I will
have delight in You, and You will lift up my face to You. I will have delight in You Lord and I will
lift up my face to You. I will make my prayer known to You and You
will hear my and I will pay Your vows. I shall also decide and decree a thing
and it shall be established for me and the light of Your favor will shine
upon all my ways. When those around me make me low, I will
say, “There is a lifting up and the humble person You will lift up and
save.” You will even deliver the one for whom I
intercede who is not innocent; who does not know You as their Lord, yes,
they will be delivered through the cleanness of my hands. Thank you Father. Praying the Word Over Our Christian Privileges Heavenly Father, I come in the Name of Jesus to the throne of grace that I may receive Mercy, and find Grace to help in my time of need, (Heb. 4:16). Jesus I come with confidence because You are my High Priest, and the Mediator between God and me, (Heb 4:15, 1 Tim. 2:5). Jesus I know that You can understand and sympathize with my weaknesses and infirmities, because You were tempted as I am, (Heb 4:15). You are the Lord of my life and I’m saved, (Ro. 10:9). Father, before, I was dead in my trespasses and sins. I was far away from You, but now by the blood of Jesus, I have been reconciled, and brought near to You, and I belong to the household of God (Eph. 2:1,12,13,16,19). Thank you Father, that You have delivered me from the power of darkness, of Satan, and have translated me into the Kingdom of Your Son, Jesus, in whom I have redemption through His blood, and the forgiveness of sins, (Col. 1:13,14). I have confessed my sins and You have been faithful and just to forgive me and I am cleansed form all unrighteousness, (1 Jn. 1:9). Now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus, old things have passed away, behold all things are become new, (2 Co. 5:17). thank you Father, that because I have received
Jesus and believed on His Name, I have received the right to become
Your child, (Jn. 1:12). You
have made me the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, (2 Co. 5:20).
I know that I’m not saved because of any works of righteousness
that I have done, but I’m saved and justified by Your Grace, through
faith, (Tit. 3:5,7; Eph 2:7). Thank you Heavenly Father that the fruit of the Spirit is growing in my life; love joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control, (Ga 5:22). Thank you Father for the Holy Spirit, who teaches me all things, and guides me into all truth, (Jn. 14:13; 14:26). As I come to know the truth, the truth shall set me free, (Jn. 8:32). Enlighten the eyes of my understanding; flood the eyes of my heart with light, so that I may know what is the hope of my calling, and surpassing greatness of your power toward me. Thank you that, according to the riches of Your glory, You strengthen me with might by Your Spirit in my inner man, my innermost being. You have helped me to know the love of Christ, which passes all knowledge that I might be filled with all the fullness of You, my God. Thank you God, that because of Your power at work within me, You are able to carry out Your purpose and do superabundantly far above all that I ask, or think, infinitely beyond my highest prayers, desires, thoughts hopes or dreams.
(Eph. 1:18,19; 3:16,19,20). Thank you, Father, that I am not conformed to this world, because I am being transformed and changed by the renewal of my mind, that I may prove what is Your good, acceptable, and perfect will in my life, (Ro. 12:2). How glorious it is to know that I am being constantly transfigured and changed into your very own image from glory to glory, by Your Spirit, as I behold Your glory, (Co 3:18). Help me not to give any place, opportunity, or foothold to the Devil in my life, (Eph. 4:27). Thank you Father, that when I submit to You and resist the Devil in the Name of Jesus, he flees from me in terror, (Mk. 16:17; Jas. 4:7). Thank you that You have given me authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in any way harm me, (Lk. 10:19). Thank you that You are watching over this Word, to perform it in my life, (Jer.1:12). In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen (Jn. 14:14). Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
“So
shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return
unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” The promise of The LORD is His Word cannot return void. Therefore, it only makes sense for us to pray the Word of God, for His Word is always His will for our lives.
